obama was elected the first time it was historic. if he is elected again it will also be historic because no president has been reelected with that kind of number since franklin roosevelt. the waning days of the great depression. i'm barack obama, and i approve this message. these appliances could have been made here in america. but a company called global tech maximized profits by paying its workers next to nothing... under sweatshop conditions in china. when mitt romney led bain, they saw global tech as a good investment... even knowing that the firm promoted its practice of exploiting... low-wage labor to its investors. mitt romney - tough on china? since when? statistics and studies and numbers and facts thrown out last night in a 90-minute little period of time. for a lot of us it's a lot to process. but when you are able to process it and digest those numbers, two very different economic ideologies emerge from all of that rhetoric. that is why we hire ali velshi and why he comes to town. makes sense of it all. here is the deal.
